Blood Assimilation

Chapter 89 - Young Master Slandar



Seeing as how Randy was still touching the black book with an eager expression despite what she had told him, Miss Feng sighed helplessly and then said: "Judging from your expression, It appears that you really are hellbent on buying this unknown black book. Well, I won't stop you if that is the case. After all, the whole point of this black book being on display was to search for someone that would be willing to buy it for themselves."

And then she continued after a moment of pause: "On the other hand, up until now, whenever people hear about the origin of the black book, they all end up not interested afterward. So as a shop owner, how can I refuse when someone wants to buy my product?"

'Then again, maybe this young man knows something or had found out something by touching the black book. Otherwise, why would he insist on buying this useless book that we are not sure whether it was even a spell book or something else entirely…'

'However, that should be impossible since not even the boss with his various means was not able to find out anything after carefully studying this black book…'

Miss Feng silently thought as she deeply peered at Randy beside her.

"…I see, so how much are you selling this black book for?" Randy turned towards her after a while and then seriously asked.

At this point, upon hearing his question, Miss Feng was still slightly hesitant for a moment before sighing once again before saying: "Well, did you know that the price for this unknown black book was originally 1 million?"

"1 million?! Even though no one was able to open it, how can it cost that much?" Randy exclaimed in shock and then he inquired.

'Damn it, that is exactly the amount of money I have on me right now, but if I spend all of it on this book then how am I supposed to buy the other spells in this shop? Not to mention, I still need to buy movement and footwork techniques. But I really need to buy this black tome at all costs…'

Randy inwardly gritted his teeth in frustration as he was conflicted about his choices at this moment.

Looking at his shocked expression, Miss Feng then said: "There is no need to worry. I said that it was 'originally' going to be sold for that amount. The reason for this was because when that survivor came to sell the black book to us, we purchased it for 500,000 Alliance Credits, and to make a profit out of reselling it, we were decided to sell it for twice the purchased price, but not anymore. That was after considering that no one seemed to be interested in the black book afterward. So you can now buy it for 600,000 Alliance Credits instead… Ah, it's okay if you did not bring enough…"

"Alright, I will pay for it." Randy abruptly said to her.

"Huh?" Miss Feng appeared surprised as she stared at him with open eyes.

And then asked in curiosity: "You had that much money on you?"

"No, I have it in my bank account." Randy replied to her.

"Did your parents provide you that much money just to buy spell books?" Miss Feng pursued further by asking this.

"Well… something like that." Randy nodded as he calmly said with a smile on his face.

However, he silently thought, 'I can't tell you that I actually received this money from catching a criminal or that I sold the carcasses and beast cores of the mutated beasts that I hunted in the Beast Forest, now, can I?'   

As he thought this to himself, all of a sudden, a peal of mocking laughter resounded behind Randy and Miss Feng, arousing their attention.

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, both Randy and Miss Feng quickly turned around to see the source of this sudden laughter.

When they did, they saw a young man who was wearing an intricately designed purple magician robe with a hood behind it.

The young man appeared to be in his early twenties but looks could be deceiving in the current era.

Standing beside both sides of the young man were two men in black suits wearing a pair of black sunglasses, seemingly the bodyguards of the young man.

At this point, the young man spoke after his sudden laughter.

"Feng Yun, don't tell me… did you cheat this brat standing next to you, enough for him to want to buy that useless book that you always kept on that display table?" The young man said in a derision tone.

Hearing these words, Miss Feng's expression suddenly changed as the looked of displeasure was displayed on it at this moment.

'This arrogant bastard, how did he get in here, and why couldn't I even sense his presence as he approached us...?'

Her eyebrows knitted tightly together, displaying a deep frown as she thought this.

And then she glared at the young man in front of her for a moment before saying: "Young master Slandar, what do you mean by saying those words? Are you trying to cause trouble in my humble shop yet again?"

"Hmph! What do you mean, cause trouble again? Just now, I saw you trying to sell that useless book to that clueless boy next to you, and I even went out of my way to try to find justice for him and you say that I am causing trouble? Am I not even allowed to say the truth when I see someone being deceived? Or are you trying to cover up your deeds with these words of yours?"

The young man called young master Slandar continued to speak in a mocking tone.

"This unbridled brat…" Miss Feng muttered under her breath as she glared at the young man in front of her.

"Do you even have any idea what transpired before this transaction, young master Slandar? Are you not aware that you're currently trying to slander me and my shop's reputation with those casual words of yours? Are you ready to bear the consequences for your actions at this moment?" Miss Feng stated every sentence in one breath as she stared intently at Young master Slandar. 

Young master Slandar only scoffed at these statements of hers and then said: "Do you think I would be scared or even care about your little shop? Or have you forgotten which trading company is trending right now, even as we speak? What can your little shop in this eastern district amount to in comparison to even just my Anz magic shop in this eastern district, huh?"
